melodic mixing? house & breaks & etc.

[holden]

Hey folks,

I've been practicing my mixing lately to concentrate more on making melodic transitions and experimenting with pitch shifting. Those of you who DJ know that beatmatching isn't everything...you've also got to pick the right songs and make sure their melodies flow.

So this is a bit of an experiment in training my ears and hands to get similar or not so similar sounding tracks to be friends! It starts with some groovy house and then gets into more harsh breaks. Please forgive the unsmooth transitions, try to enjoy the smooth ones!
